I was there for the 8.20am start with a friend. We got stuck into the bacon nice and early!
I was pretty unimpressed when they said the cars for track were going to be left hand drive and auto. Add to this a very slippery and damp track, an unfamiliar car and an unfamiliar track, and the instructor really started to pee me off when he kept grabbing the wheel and shouting at me to use all the track, then telling me to be careful of the grass! I wish they'd just let you get into the flow of it like you can on a track day, instead of trying to make you drive at 100% the moment you leave the pits. Not the way to do it imho. Still, managed to score 89%, although I think these scores are to make you feel good about yourself
Hats off to Nissan though for arranging the day and not charging. It was great to drive the 370, although I wouldn't consider replacing my 350 with one. It felt much softer, and really pitched and dived under acceleration and braking. I also thought the steering had less feel ,and the gear change had a slightly more rubbery feel to it. There was less (good) noise too, and this made it feel slower than the 350.
I'll have to start saving for a GTR then...
